1iA GRANGE. GEORGIA, MAT 7. I860.
■ President.
It m*y boftcocptocl ns a mtadm that an incom
ing atfniiniatration will alwayn exporiofloo ilis-
affoction among tlio ranks iff former supportors.
Even tUo Rovero party discipline of tho proncut
ora cannot curb tho revengofttl and jealous
wrath of mon to whom tho honors and emolu
ments of office are denied. However popular,
therefore, Gen. Grant may have boon amongst
the people, it was reasonably to Imvo been ox-
peoted that an opposition would be organized
whose chief aim would consist in criticizing tho
administration or defeating the policy of the
f orernment Grant was popular -it is useless
to deny it Even in the South tho peoplo wero
ready to support him, fervidly and sincerely, if
he would only act up to bin protestations and
really bo tho President of the whole country. —
Gen. Graut was silent, and mystery begot ex-
pcctauey. He professed extreme personal inde
pendence. and tho people gave him tho reputa
tion of being a man of real monunourago— for
getting that tho profession disproved the asser
tion. He promised, in a puerilo inaugural, to
administer tho government equally and econom
ically; and, carried away with wishes, good peo
ple really believed ho kpow how to do all this
without an iota of experience; and good demo
crats really were iuolinod to the opinion that
Giant was as good a democrat as Seymour, any
how. So it was with tho pledged support of a
majority, and tho attainable—indeed, willing—
•upport of the remaining minority of tho people,
that tho President was inaugurated. It is but
two short months since that event, and wo be
hold a pitiable spectacle at the Capitol. That
spectaclo is the President.
The ass' mouth has boon opened, and tho pur
chaser feels tho swindle. Graut has spoken, aud
derision succeeds expectancy. His independence
was tested, and signally failed. He made a
•truggle against the Congress, and defeatoded
himself by his own reckless imprudence. His
prerogative has been prostituted to flutter bis
menial—making tho entrance to the highest
office in the gift of tho President tire same thing
as a complimentary ticket to a common show. —
Nepotism is to Grant as is his toddy—you can’t
separate tho ideas. At a time when wo so much
noed a 6teady man—a bravo man—a truly great
man—to direct our complicated affairs, it is no
wonder that, oven in those two short months,
invective has not spared the fickleness that has
been his shame; or tho nepotism that ban lowered
him; or the ignoranco that has made him the
ridicule of all. With a clamorous country, dis
satisfied party, impotent cabinet, and no power
of conceiving, or experience for consummating,
much less the character to successfully carry
out, any plan of policy, the President has disap
pointed the people, and no doubt is to himself
an impenetrable study.
“But yesterday the word nf Caesar rulp^t
Have stood against tho world; now lies he-tliere.
And none ao poor as to do him reverence."
It is a lamentable fact that, for four more loi?g
•years, wo are to suffer tho evils of a w ak and
aimless administration, unless, degrading alter
nation. some able and grasping demagogue be
comes tho “power behind tho throne." It is,
then, to bo hoped that, satisfied with experi
menting on the interests and welfare of the
teeming millions of America, the parties will
nominate candidates who, at least, know some
little 0** tho practice and theory of our govern
ment.
There is one consolation in rift dUiAfcUc.
Tho President is not the man to take advantage
of the turbulence of tho times to subvert our
government; nor, did he attempt such n thing,
is ho tho man who pobcessoa any one of tho ele
ments necessary for its successful culmination.—
He may throw all his influenco into tho scale fa
voring war with England—for all his reputation
is military, and all his experience is of wars aud
armies. But, ignoring the fact that his influ
ence over tho Senate is very little, and his own
province in market for a master, wo may safely
eay that, in hia own negative way, the President
wishes “peace.” Even ho can see that our dis
tracted country’ must have repose just as a man
must have sleep. But, what a repose is that
jyhich has not confidence—which starts at unusu
al sounds in the night, and listens with painful ex
pectancy for the-Btep of the murderer or the creep
of the thief. Indeed, until that confidence be
restored by a steady adherence to some liberal
policy, commerce miurtiauguish; jealousies must
onkindle; animosities be aroused; and the demon
of sectional hate, which coiild easily have been
banished in ’65, and which may possibly be ban
ished now, far—far away from a happy America,
will clutch closer at our national vitals, and who,
wo may say, will not eventually tear tho pulsing
heart from the bosom of our “father-land."
the suffering, valor and fortitude, of our first
revolution, was about to be rendered nugatory.
They experienced anarchy; and if our Congress
legislates for States, the choice will soon be made
between anarchy aud despotism. Of course
this is true lor States conscious of organized
power will not submit to all laws, and whenever
a roaiatauc.o occurs tho general government must
allow the anarchy or use force to ovreomo tho re
sistance.
Tho South baa, with persevering patience,
stood by and 1ms aeon tho last hope of magna
nimity, from her opposing aud conquering neigh-
bora, puas away liko tho lights of tho ship pass
ing from tho struggler in the sea. They have
suffered iudiguity and iueult. They have hoard
tho naorod honor of their dead roproachod by
polluted lips. They havo boon mulct for subsi
dies. They havo withstood that which, imposed
ou any but a soot km weakened by long and des
olating war and final defeat, would have lit tho
balefires of civil strife from the coasts of Main
to tho everglades of Florida. They have yielded
to that which, if directed against any one of tho
great States of the Northern coalition, would
havo frenzied tho people with indignation, broken
the government into fragments, and devastated
tho country with tho struggles of contending
States. Yet, weak as wo are—crushed and al
most humiliated-there are Rome in our land
who swear by their holy relicts that they have
suffered that heretofore, which, if perpetrated
hereafter, will light the balefires, only to be ex
tinguished by that river of blood which flows
dooply aud unceasingly between tho be tray or
and botrayud—the oppressor aud the oppressed.
This is the spirit which yields hope for our fu-
turo. If it, indoed, be supported by material
strength, what may wo—what may Amorieu —
not daro to hope ?

Tlie Baby Show in Savannah.
A few days ago & convention of working wo
men was held in Boston to “consider a plan for
colonizing poor women upon lands to bo provid
ed by the Stato.” Tho proceedings, ns detailed
in tho yatioml Intelligencer, afford food for r
good deni of reflection. Here, in tho centre of
antagonism to slavery at theSouth; here, whence
denunciations ol a Constitution which protected
such n sacrilege woro fulminated nt our section;
hare, where slander was more venemous and in-
vectivo more vehement, and perversions more
false than iu any other city or among any other
people who used this means to concentrate the
indignation of tho world against our institution;
yes, in Boston, the “hub of tho universe," a
convention of poor women have met to com
plain—the simple fools! —of stitching shirts at
filly cents a dozen, and living on one cracker a
day. “Stitch, stitch, stitch—band and gusset
and seam." Sore eyes—worn fingers—aching
head—breaking back —starving, crying children
—and all iu Boston !
Time enough to write long editorials and hugo
volumns of abuse against the South; liberality
enough to hire emmisaries to stir up iusuarcc-
lions, at least disaffection, among the happy
laborers of the South; charity enough to dismem-
bor this oncehappj* government and pay ruffians
to desolate tho green fields and thriving eitics of
this section in order that the negro might be
free and equal at the South. But oh! cess-pool
of in'amy, too busy to visit their own poor whites
;»i Boston—too niggardly to pay a living price to
their own starving poor in Boston—too unchris
tian to listen to their wrongs or to heed their
• emonsi-rnnoes to favor their prayers. Bead
what a womru 1 said ° n tho,speakers stand:
‘ ‘We aro homoless. This homelessness makes us

—wo cannot buy soap to wash our clothing.—
This i one of the bitterest things that women
suffer. It is worse than hunger, for neatness,
cleanliness is one of woman’s strongest instincts.
Sometimes wo cannot. I have seen the time
when I could not bny the soap and fire to wash
my clothes. It is not always that wo are im
provident and shiftless. It is because our work
is so fragmentary; because wu havo not facili
ties for getting employment at remunerative

The South our Only Hope.
Wc learn from the Savannah Republican that
tho baby exhibition announced to come off in
that citv. has really taken place, and from all
accounts must havo been a complete success.—
Xu the Park where the babies were exhibited,
several thousand peoplo were present. GruDd-
siresand grandnmes, papas and mammas, young
men aud maidens, nurses without number, little
folic, and babies in arms and iu miniature car
riages, a multitudinous host, wero there and
fully alive to the occasion. It was* botli an
interesting aud amusing sight, and it was only
to bo regretted that tho anxiety of the crowd,
whoso encroachment even tho policemen could
not prevent, pro*iuded the formalities that
thoso in charge would have been glad to observe.
The infantile procession was formed in the main
walk, south of tho Fountain, carriages four
deep, and the rear brought up with babies in
arms. With great difficulty, owing to the pres
sure upon their allotted domain, they proceed
up tho walk, aud halted in lino north of the
Fountain, and reaching to the front gate, where
they underwent inspection and those thousand
and one little caresses and endearments that jdl
• seemed anxious to bestow upon them. Our re-
, porter counted eighty carriages, several carrying
two, all filled with infants aud about double that
number in the nurses’ arms. Besides tlu**e
there were several hundred from one to five
years of age, who wore not, however, the special
objec b ol adoration on this particular occasion,
It was emphatically a baby show, and nothing
that could talk seemed to attract particular at
tention. As they wero marched along iu pro
cession almost every aspect of infantile humor
was presented. Some woro asleep, some cry
ing,* and many, fully up to the spirit of the oc
casion, laughed, clapped their hands, and held
them out to the bystanders as they passed along.
The children, of course, wero faultlessly dress
ed—mammas made sure of that - their carriages
were beautifully ornamented with wreaths of
evergreen and flowors, aud in many instances
pot dogs, kittens, doll babies, A., Ac., shared
them with tho occupants. There were several
pairs of twius in tho procession, and one trio of
triplets. Two fat, chubby boys, fast asleep in
the same carriage with their thumbs in their
mouths, attracted no little attention, andcroatcd
much merriment. Auotker little fellow, who
appears to bo suffering from lacteal deficiency,

We find, in one of our exchanges, this para
graph, takon from a Northern radical organ:
The South our, Only Hope.—All classes of
our people have a common interest in the pros
perity of the South. Another season's good
crops in that section of tho country will do more
to place the nation in a condition to resume spe
cie payments than all tho theories of politicians,
car the long draw i out wisdom of Congress.—
Through much distress and misery tho South,
in spite of politicians aud the blunders of legis
lators, is now entering upon a now and substan
tial career of prosperity that may soon eclipse
the glories of tho West aud North.
Yes’, iu spite of much “distress and misery"—
“inspite of politicians" jind willful political inju
ries—our people have been working steadily and
sturdily on in the task of recuperating the weak
ened and developing the latent resources of our
•country. Its very hard for a people to labor
with any spirit when antagonized by tho very
government they help to support; very bard to
labor to any profit with laborers excited to dis
affection, distrust, 'almost positive enmity, by
bad men, coun financed by the powers that be.
But, in spite of all misfortune and all injury,
our peoplo aro prospering—they aro working
well, and our lands repay them bountifully.—
And soon they will work to new advantages—for
surplus capital is seeking investments in fertil
izers, new implements of husbandry, new meth
ods of planting and reaping; railroads are con
structed, and being* constructed, connecting our
parts tog ther; and in all the branches of pro-
duco and transportation, we may see proofs rf
the truth that in the future we may indeed
“eclipse the glories of the West and North.”
But, not only is the South a hope for tho na
tion nationally and financially, but politically,
•also. We are naturally the preservers and thc
. vindicators of this nation’s organic law—simply
because wo aro the minority, and find our pro-
ts ’tion in the law, as Calhoun bos long since
. dsmonstrated. It is natural that we should ad-
Yxsate strict construction; natural that we should
•There to States fights; natural that wo should
watch, with jealous eyes, every encroachment on
the guarantees of thp Constitution. The bill
lately before Congress, in relation to Georgia,
wn calculated to destroy a State. That is the
elimax of the policy which the South opposes—
In which opposition is the only hope of the na
tion. Even republicans stagger at this develop
ment. What I 6ball we-legislate directly on this
State? This wt « the very evil which necessitated
our Constitution when the country wa« benighted
and' despairing under the first confederation.—
The Congress under that confederation legislated
like fury, but not a State obeyed tho laws. So
prone: were the States to disobey, that return to
monarchy—aa much as tho people were excited
against their experience of its evils—was con-
templated; and there was great danger that all
said half that much—when they were most in
subordinate and their masters most severe. One
fact should bo remembered whenever a history
of our institution is attempted, and that is, that
no negro has been known to starve. ‘Another
fact is, that, during the war, there was no insur
rection. And a third is, that, since tho war,
those negroes are best satisfied who have perse-
veringly remained with their old masters.
Now, wo wish to ask—Why do not laborers
seek the South? Our peoplo are liberal—our
lands aro prolifiic—nobody starves. Good plow
kand3 are getting fifty cents a day and board, in
Troup county—this is as much as a Boston work
woman obtains for makiug a dozen shirts. A
work-woman hero gets five dollars for cutting
and makieg a calico dress—and at least one
dollar for making up a shirt—only twenty-four
times as much as in Boston.
This is pleasant work with us and we only
wish we lmd a dozen columns to show up these
infamously larcenious Bostonians. When they
invade tho dominions of the devil there will not
bo a straggler from their solid phalanx—no doubt
they will wrest the sceptre from Satnn and inau
gurate such a system of statesmanship as have
never yet been experienced in that benighted
land—for government, you know, is just tho
science of adaptation.

tion, which sat last week in Cuthbort, will be
interesting to our Baptist friends and the friends
of education generally:

that the Convention owns cash assets to the

Imperialism.—Strange! this subject has at
tracted so much discussion. The Round 1'able
says: “In plain sooth, the age of sensuality of
unchecked corruption of dense class ignorance
is coming down on us like night. A free press
should have given more notes of warning than
it has. Unless a change comes over tho Ameri
can people, it (the government) will not be
maintained by themselves," &c. Another ex
change says that “ Imperialism is but the reflec
tion of the times." While wo know that virtue
is absolutely essential to the preservation of
liberty, and are afraid that public virtue in Amer
ica is at a low ebb, yet we can but believe in the
Saxon spirit of our nation, and trust, as well as
hope, that tha patriotism of the peoplo will yet
save the country.
Death op Maj. J. R. Barrick. —It was only
last week that we expressed the hope that this
gentleman was improving in health and that his
valuable life might be spared to the country;
but, upon the very morning our paper was pub
lished, his noble spirit took its flight for tho re
gions of the blest. Maj. Barrick, the gentleman,
the poet and the scholar is no more ! No more
will his poesy thrill and quicken tho hearts of
the noble witli new songs of real and ideal beau
ty. Barrick the courteous, the gentle, the pure-
minded firm friend is gone ! —he has laid aside
his magic pen forever!—to join in nobler song,
we hope and believe, with tho “pure in heart,"
who are blest for aye !
Military Rule.—The people of Texas are
now experiencing some of the blessings which
the people of our State enjoyed under the scep
tre of Gens, Meade and Pope. At Jefferson, a
largo number of respectable citizens are incar
cerated because a turbulent character was lately
killed there, not by .hem, but by parties as yet
unknown. The story is almost exactly the same
as what occurred at Atlanta wfili the Columbus
prisoners. “ Let us have peace."
We learn firom our exchonges that a destruc
tive hall storm visited Elbert and adjoining coun
ties Sunday morning last,

stubborn case of Erysipelas, aud was conflued to my bed
near two months, suffering tho mo»4 intense pain all the

scriptions of my physician, he finally commenced the
Hold. I also used it most miccosafully on my little

from this medicine alono that I could get any relief from
my distressing attack of Erysipelas,
I do not write you this a
but as a duty that I feel I

I hope you aro succeeding, and will make a fortune.
